    The Perfect Avocado Bruschetta Appetizer

    It's that time of the month! 12 bloggers, 12 recipes, 12 ingredients or less. This months theme is appetizers which very easily could be read as "football food" this time of the year. Whether you are watching the big game or not, this list of appetizers is sure to please. Check out all of the links at the bottom of the post for the rest of the recipes.

    To the horror of many, we don't watch football; not college, not pro, not high school (our school is so little we don't even have a football team). And to make matters worse we also don't watch basketball, baseball, soccer, hockey, or Nascar. The truth is, we don't even have a TV. We used to enjoying catching a game here or there of our Alma mater (go BYU Cougars!) but that lack of a TV sure makes that hard. So I feel like a total fake having "tale gating" in my title, but that's ok. You forgive me for my lack of sport watching don't you?

    Avocado Bruschetta and other awesome appetizer recipes

    I'll make it up to you with this recipe. It's awesome all of the time; football season included.

    Bruschetta is one of our all time favorite foods and we often make a meal out of it for summer lunches. It's just perfect this time of year when tomatoes and basil are ripe and ready for the picking. To step it up a notch I added some avocado; such a great creamy addiction to that crunchy buttery toast.
